I wrote a guide for Adventures, which can be viewed here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Guide-Adventures-Silver-Gold-and-beyond/first

It uses the first 4 posts to detail the 15 Adventures. However, when I try to edit one of the main posts now it gives me the message “An Error Prevented Saving: Message Body length must be less than 5000.”

PLEASE CONTACT ME! I really want to keep this Adventure guide up and running, and I need options on how to resolve this. I integrated everything about this guide to that forum link.

Thanks,
-Higgs

They can’t increase the number of characters in the post as they no longer work with the company that used to manage the forums. You’re only solution is to try to find ways to reduce the number of characters used.

I’d suggest the best choice being to move the content to the GW2 wiki, and then link to that from the forum post. Possibly with an excerpt or summary here, but ultimately, that’s a better place to maintain a document anyway…

^Yup, I also was going to suggest that. Wiki would be the best place for guides and documents, either by the freedom to format and put how much info you want as by the easier search. In forums the content becomes quickly buried and hidden.

That’s a great suggestion, if HiggsBoson has an account on the wiki (or wants to).
